Our life lately

We are enjoying life here in Sanderson, although it is plenty warm! We are looking forward to the Fall and Winter seasons. Here are some recent pictures.

Shelby has enough hair to get in three ponytails! :)

We (mostly Josh) made cinnamon rolls and a loaf of cinnamon bread. So delicious!!!

Shelby loves technology! Her favorite thing to do is "type" on the computer, use the mouse and play with Daddy's iPod Touch all at the same time. It makes using the computer difficult, since whenever we are on it she wants to be as well.

Shelby is enjoying feeding herself which is great! But is makes for a messy girl.

Shelby is so stinkin' cute! Here are some of the things we have been enjoying lately. I'll try to explain them well.

She will walk over to the lotion bottle, pick it up and "pour" lotion out, throw the bottle down, and rub her hands together.

When I am holding her and go to kiss Josh, when we separate she will put her hand on my shoulder and Josh's shoulder and push us together to kiss again.

When Josh is in the bathroom with the door closed she will walk over to the door, knock, then lean her head against the door and talk to him.

She is walking all over the place and talking all the time. Whenever she sees a phone she picks it up and has a conversation. She now seems to be comfortable with actually having someone on the other end of the line and she will chat for quite a while!

When I am finished sweeping she picks up the small broom and starts sweeping, then looks at me like "See Mommy, I can do it too!"

She is good at sorting laundry ~ really just throwing all the dirty clothes from the laundry basket onto the floor. And she likes to put the clothes from the washer to the dryer.

And in just a matter of a few weeks she has gone from using furniture to walk, to getting around without holding on to anything. It is so much fun to watch her grow!
